What is the booking invoice reference?

A booking invoice is created when a customer makes a payment for a service. Each payment and invoice has a reference number so that you can easily identify it. This can be useful to send to the customer so that if they need to query their payment with you they have a reference number.

Please note- this variable will only work for the Send customers an email when payment is made for a booking email.


How will this display within our communications?

Here is an example of an english email template set up with the customer booking invoice reference variable:

Or

<p>Hi {{customer_firstname}},</p>
<p>Find below the details of your recent payment:</p>
<table border="0" cellpadding="5px" cellspacing="0" style="font-size:12px">
<thead >
<tr >
<td style="border-bottom:1px solid #333"><strong>Quantity</strong></td>
<td style="border-bottom:1px solid #333; padding-left:8px;"><strong>Description </strong></td>
<td style="border-bottom:1px solid #333; padding-left:8px; text-align:center;"><strong>Price </strong></td>

When a customer books, they will then automatically receive a booking confirmation email. As well as that email they will receive an email confirming their payment which will be constructed using the template we have saved above. This will then display as so:
